I'm looking forward to this meetup and I encourage any LW readers in the bay area to attend. I'd also like to remind our kind hosts of my suggestions after the last meetup.

He was born on September 11. That must have something to do with it.

Congratulations to Eliezer for turning 29 for the second time this year. Isn't it a bit optimistic, though, to expect to do the same every year? You can't have a 100% success rate.

Oh, he doesn't need a 100% chance - just an asymptotically increasing one!

I think he's just avoiding becoming 30.
